Champions League is Man United's priority, insists Moyes

Manchester United manager David Moyes has highlighted the importance of the team’s Champions League progression and suggested their European campaign is of greater importance than their steadily improving Premier League position.

It’s been a turbulent season so far for the defending Champions, who have seen their chances of retaining their title rapidly slip away after a disastrous start under the Scot.

It’s widely accepted their chances of rivalling the likes of Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool for the title are over, but Champions League qualification is now in United's sights after victory over the Eagles placed them eight points outside the top-four.
